New timberwolf 150

I bought ifor Williams gh94 plant trailers with 10 inch wheels as they have the lowest floor height of any plant trailers I could find for using tracked chippers whilst loaded. Our GM 1928 Safetraks are often used on the trailer and it isn't a bad setup on small jobs and a doddle to unload if the job is bigger. The 10 inch wheels are pony though, the tyres only seem to last 5 mins. The chippers are pushing 2 tonnes though to be fair.

What does the VTR weigh Hodge?

What trailer do you use?

 

I'm interested in a tracked machine you could feed whilst still in the trailer, if that makes sense?

Just to save time on domestic driveway jobs.

I appreciate the hopper height would be high.

If someone could come up with a tracked chipper and specially designed trailer which also happened to be on hydraulics which lowered for use whilst in the trailer...now that would be a killer combo.

 

that could have weight issues, ??

It wouldn't.

It's on hydraulics.

If VOSA pulled you and it was overweight you could just raise the hydraulics to make it lighter.

There was a coffee stall catering trailer jobby (like a 20 foot container on wheels) at carfest that sat flat on the floor with the wheels folded up inside. I'm not sure of the mechanism involved or the time/effort required but it would provide a solution here in principle.

Council welfare trailers are like that these days too, helps prevents them getting stolen.

Something like this mounted on some sort of hydraulic platform perhaps?

You can get air bagged trailers for transporting lowered cars, they drop right to the floor so the cars can get on without scraping.
